Hey friends, Wes O’Donnell here. Today, we’re tackling a big question: Should Ukraine acquire the THAAD missile defense system to counter Russia’s escalating missile threats?With Russia’s latest MIRV-equipped IRBM, the Oreshnik, raining chaos on Ukrainian cities, the stakes have never been higher. Now Putin is threatening more strikes in the coming days. Ukraine is exploring ways to bolster its air defense network, and THAAD—America’s Terminal High Altitude Area Defense system—might be the game-changer they need.In this video, I’ll break down:THAAD’s Capabilities: A missile defense system designed to intercept ballistic missiles at insane speeds, both inside and outside the atmosphere.The Oreshnik Threat: Why Russia’s latest MIRV strike is more about desperation than strategy.THAAD vs. Patriot Upgrades: Should Ukraine opt for cutting-edge THAAD or double down on the proven Patriot PAC-3 interceptors?I’ll also dive into the history of missile defense, including THAAD’s origins in Reagan’s “Star Wars” initiative, and why Putin’s claim that no defense can stop ICBMs is, well, laughable.This isn’t just about tech news—it’s about strategy, logistics, and keeping Ukraine armed and ready to defend its skies. I’ll cut through the political theater and focus on what Ukraine truly needs in its fight for freedom.Join me for an in-depth look at why Putin’s MIRV stunt is less a show of strength and more a desperate cry for relevance.
